Mention about the topic, one day that made me feel very happy, should be my birthday. On 11th of August. See, I told you. I was born in summer time. Normally, my friends and I would have opportunities to have fun on that special day.To be exact, three of us. No matter where we are, no matter what we do, we could be having fun time together, sometimes on the Internet, occasionally through we chat or face time you know. We were actually not living and working in the same country. Last August, when my birthday came, they gave me a big surprise. When they were standing in front of me, I was totally shocked and moved by the way. No specific gifts, all what I had on that day was my truly friendship. You know, we went to the Starbucks to grab a cup of coffee, went to the restaurant after that. Nothing special, gotta be honest. They could come to me. A quite impressive day. That is it.
Mention about the topic, an interesting conversation that I had was all about marriage, you know, with my best friend. To be precise, the contestation about marriage between two men. I remembered that was three weeks ago when I had the opportunity to sit and share something one or two on life with my close friend. We actually talked a lot, include the sports, games, jobs, but the most funny part was our attitude to marriage. Since we had to think about it for sure. In my culture, as a husband, a wonderful house, a decent job, all of these factors are really important. Both of us were worrying these sorts of things you know. That is the men`s talk. We had a pretty good time that afternoon. By the way, I couldn't see him that often since he had to go on the business trip all over the world. I can say we were all busy with the work we did, apparently. So, that moment was very interesting and important conversation to us. That is it.
The perfect house for me could be located in the countryside, not in the central area of the city. As is known to all, most of us are big fan of the natural and peaceful environment. Also, the big house with a backyard or a small garden where I could sit and enjoy the sunbath is really important. It should be the essential part of choosing a living place. I think the financial support is another thing that I have to think about, I probably would get some monetary support from my parents, but not that much. So, the price of the house should affordable, 3 to 4 million Yuan, that would be wonderful. By the way, I am not planning to live on my own, my future wife, my parents or even her parents, I think that I will have a family of 8 or such. That would be one of the happiest thing in the world I suppose. See, I told you. Living in such a place with those who I love, this is why I think it wonderful. That is it.
Actually, three years ago when I had the opportunity to go on a long journey with a bunch of my close friends, to be precise, three of my roommates. We planned to spend sometime in another city of Northern part of my country, since we have never been to the the coldest place of my country before. I still remember that was the beginning of summer vacation, everything was almost well settled. The tickets, the financial support, the time management or such. Unfortunately, one of my roommates got injured the day before. His feet hurt and couldn't move a little bit. It was like disastrous, moments later, we made a decision, we arranged another starting date after he got recover. So, gotta be honest, for my part, a bit disappointed at the beginning. But the friendship seems more important than a special journey, than the money we have owned.
The person who taught me knowledge is my roommates in college, formally named, Jack. Jack looks rather tall, curly hair. But he is quite gentle and usually puts a smile of joy on his face almost everyday. Apparently, we all liked him. The point that I have learnt from this person has got to do something with money management. What I am trying to say is that he showed me how to spend money wisely. As it is known to all, young boys were not good at this point, especially when we lived independently after graduating from high school. He was a genius in this field. Meantime, several related books of economy and finance were recommended by him as well. Gotta be honest, I did learn a lot from his advice and attitude. I could say I become a good member of college students after knowing him. I even gave up drinking and smoking, you know. It used to be an important part of my financial support. Till now, those activities which were free of charge and healthy are my favorite. Such as reading and jogging for example. Thanks to his efforts, I made a change. That is it.
Mention about the topic, the moment when I had my first brand new car comes to my mind. A couple of years ago, I decided to buy a new one. But I didn't get enough financial support, so I was trying to save money as more as possible. Things changed when I had my 19th birthday, my dad gave me a surprise and a brand new Ford Focus was mine. The color was metallic grey, my favorite one. Not very expensive, like 10 000Yuan or something, the point was that my dad paid for it. That was a great deal of money to me. I was a bit shocked at the beginning. I didn't know how to show my love to him you know, a hug is everything. I remembered that was a sunny morning and I was a bit annoyed since my father woke me up quite early, we even had a disagreement on this point. LoL. Actually, things went smoothly and everything was good. We got the money from the bank, paid in cash. Waited for almost 2 hours. That was one of the happiest hours for us. So, that is it.
The crowed place that I have been to is a bookshop, where is open for 24 hours and has the free wifi as well. It is actually not a bigger place, there are only 10 seats I think. By the way, millions of books, periodicals and magazines could be found there. More importantly, you could also look for those original English version materials. You know, it is located in the central area of CBD, that is to say, people like visiting there and they apparently do this more often. Since today, ordinary people, like you and me for example, are spending more time in readings. Last weekend, I went there on my own, you know. I didn't want to get disturbed by others ones. I actually spent only 20 mins walking there because of its good location. Interestingly, I couldn't find a proper seat to sit since there were at least 100 readers at a time, it was hard to look for my ideal books. Gotta be honest, I didn't hate this feeling. Cuz all of us didn't make any sort of noises at all, crowded, though. So, this is a specific reason why I like sitting in that small and crowded bookshop. Above all, I did this more often in the past.
Mention about the topic, someone who I am really hoping to meet in person is Jack Ma, who in my consideration, is a billionaire and full of legend. He is not that tall, not that strong, but full of energy almost everyday. He could be quite famous all over the world. Since he got one of the largest companies on this globe. To be honest, I have never seen him before, I mean in life. But I could find him on TV, News and different kinds of interviews. I could say he is the one who I look up to, the point that I admire on this guy has got to do something with his special experiences, since he is now very successful, however, his childhood memories and youth life were disastrous, you know. He couldn't find a better job then, more than 50 companies said no to him. Stuff like that. I suppose most of us today might give up on the halfway, but he continues his dream, time and time again, till now. So, his patience and attitude could be the main reasons why I want to meet him in person. That is it.
A job that I couldn't say yes at all would be working at a primary school. to be exact, a primary school teacher. The job seems quite simple and it has two long vocations in summer and winter. A lot of people would love it but for me I couldn't do it well. I mean that how to spend time with those young children and kids would be like the most challenging part to me. Meanwhile, I even got no idea on how to talk to them. I mean show them something one or two on different subjects. I mean that certainly will drive me crazy. I will be mad about it and undoubtedly. In fact, a friend of mine is now working for a primary school in my region. She told me that it was not an easy work for both of us since we don't have patience. You know patience is really important if you want to do well in this area. More importantly, I have to check their homework and assignment and find out problems and mistakes each day. I mean I have to do it everyday, that could be too much to me. so here is the job I would definitely say nope.
